[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tq745:
After seeing multiple threads about CWM, I decided to put this up in hopes that we don't clutter the development area with the same topic.

As of right now CWM is not working for our device. We have to wait for the developer to update CWM to be compatible with our device. Yes you can still install it and boot into recovery, however, not all the options will work. And some users have reported that it screwed up their phone somehow. You can try it but you might be risking damage to your phone. Everyone just be patient CWM will be on our devices soon. Team Whiskey has already stated that they have some ROMS up and ready for our device to be installed once we get CWM.

If anyone wants to try to port Clockwork to the 4G Koush has put up a tutoriol here

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/10/porting-clockwork-recovery-to-new.html
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Lint6:
Anyone going to give it a shot? If be willing to..dunno much about building though. Just learning it recent
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tq745:
If anyone is willing to give it a shot and confirm everything is working I will update the OP
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Lint6:
hmmm...

Is that the V4G?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Guess the guide won't work for Samsung phones.

Haha Lint6 beat me to it! Guess we gotta have someone send him their phone. I would if I had my old Vibrant still.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] pbedard:
The one from tge vibrant works I flashed it today
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tq745:
It won't work. Not all the options within the recovery will work right.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] spockmeat:
ill send him my phone if i can contact him, i have 3 vibrants and a venue pro to play with while my phone is with him :)

However my 4g is one of the ones with the busted CWM install that needs the factory tar to get it back to original recovery so ill have to check if he can work with my phone or not, shouldnt hurt as the phone still functions fine but we shall see.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tq745:
that would be awesome, hopefully he can get it working. coming from a vibrant and a mt4g i'm getting really anxious to start flashing roms for this baby.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] spockmeat:
Ok, i contacted koush and im going to try to send him my phone today VIA USPS Priority so i can help you guys get CWM installed. lots of <3 for the dev community. I'm new to XDA but i was one of the first guys that got a custom firmware for the Verizon RAZR going but haven't done much modding since.

Big thanks to koush and krylon for all the hard work.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] spockmeat:
If any of the senior members think that this will affect CWM dev let me know. i have insurance on the phone but i dont really want to run it over with my car to get a relacement lol. ive had the phone about a week so i guess i could still exchange it, but i cant really think of a good reason to tell the folks at T-mobile why i need an exchange. hook me up :) this way i can just send koush an unopened/unmolested 4g if needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] spockmeat:
Ok guys, just got the email back from koush, unfortunately, this is it. Hit me up with a thanks for the effort if your feeling gracious :o

subject	Re: Hey man, im going to loan you my phone

hide details 11:20 AM (7 minutes ago)

Hi, please do not send me the phone. I don't have the time to work on a recovery at the moment. It would take me weeks to get to it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tq745:
hmm, this is disappointing...thanks for the effort though. much appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Damn. Can he at least give us an ETA when someone can send him one?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
I'll build CWM either today or tomorrow for you guys. I dont have a 4G so wont be able to test it. Im also working on getting the KB5 tar for you guys.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wease:
Greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mavictb:
thank you Krylon... if you need a tester pm me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
yeah, def going to need testers, seeing as I do not have the device.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mavictb:
sounds good.. again you can PM me when you have an alpha to test. Also I will be in SLC in a little over a week for 7 days to visit fam. if you needed a loaner device maybe we could work something out.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] csdalporto:
odin

once someone confirms odin is all in 100% working order for vibrant 4g i'll test anything out
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tq745:
This is great news...i will update the op as soon as we can get this working. And krylin I'd be willing to test also...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xtreampctek:
Count me in the testing, I can't wait to get crackin on this phone and see what she can do.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Apparently, Krylon, I'll flash anything. LOL. Count me in for testing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bryandrew19:
Im up for it too. Just waiting for it to be released :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MvP77:
Since I got 2 extra phones i will test.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bryandrew19:
Does anyone know when clockwork will be done? Its a make or break for me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
i would imagine that you won't know anything for a little while. i mean, one person said they were going send their phone to him in Seattle so he can work his magic. krylon is gathering testers. so i would think a couple of weeks, at least. just my educated guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
Mod delete
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tq745:
Koush didn't wasnt him to send his phone...apparently he's busy to do one for the 4g. looks like our only hope is krylon to get cwm running for us
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tq745:
Why? Did you happen to get cwm working?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eakrish:
My CWM recovery is working fine.... What is not working?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] spockmeat:
Yeah Koush didnt have the time to mess with my phone. I sent a message to krylon offering to let him use my 4g but haven't heard anything back. Just PM me Krylon if you need to use the device for a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dcam1075:
You are able to get CWM to boot your phone into the recovery mode from where you can apply .zip files from your SD card? How did you get that to work? As far as I know no one has been able to get it to work yet?!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] s44:
Why don't they release them as Odin packages?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dcam1075:
Good question! I think it may be because of the ease of using CWR. Team Whiskey seems to stick to that format, I am guessing so they dont have to support the odin process. It would be nice for them to release it in odin format for those of us willing to do it. Hopefully we will get ClockWork working soon!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
I doubt eakrish got CWM working. He followed that guide that was posted a while back. They need to delete that guide.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
I'll need a device to get CWM built properly.

I can release a ODIN version if you guys would like.

I wont troubleshoot ODIN issues though. LOL

I'll just have to flash it to my Vibrant and build a ODIN package from that. I'll do that up this week sometime.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dcam1075:
That would be awesome, it will at least give us something to do in the interim and maybe bug reporting from it will give you a head start for when (or at this point if) CWM is working for us. Do you have any inside scoop on the when we could expect CWM to be supported? I have no idea who is responsible for that or how we can fast track it. Once again though, Team Whiskey is leading the way, Many Thanks! :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flyinbird93:
If this works, does it mean we will be able to flash custom roms? What rom would it be? I haven't done any flashing of a rom since my t-mobile wing days and usually there were a few to choose from that had different looks/feel to them and packages of built in apps, ect.

I appreciate you taking the time to help us out with this new model getting rolling. I believe spookmeat has a phone you can use to get CWM working properly as well.

I was able to boot my phone into loader mode using CWM, but it kept erroring out loading that previously uploaded "bloatfree rom" that was removed. I am assuming this is what you all are refering to when you say CWM is incompatible.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tyyamamoto:
I would LOVE an ODIN version!!!!!!! I'm sure so many others would too! Pretty please! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] spockmeat:
Just let me know, i can use my HD7 for a bit while you get CWM going if you need to borrow my 4g. By the way, Koush and Krylon are the ONLY 2 that i would allow to borrow my device, lol the rest of you stop PM'ing me :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mavictb:
Krylon360 check your PMs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Herbiced:
i just emailed Koush to see if he wanted to borrow my phone to port cwm for the 4g. I live in Seattle as does he so i could just drop off my phone with him for a few days while he works on it. i hope to hear back from him soon..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xaocon:
So to make sure I understand the current state of thing correctly, no one is currently working on getting recovery working?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Yes you are correct. Krylon hasn't responded to peoples emails of them offering to send him their phones and Koush is too busy at the moment and doesn't have time to make a working CWM and said not to send him a phone at this time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
maybe i should sell the phone and get a nexus s.. hm
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] VICosPhi:
I believe this phone will eventually get Gingerbread (official). Right now though, this forum is stuck it seems... its not a bad idea to trade this for a nexus S unless you don't mind losing 720P recording
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] :
I've stated here and in the TW forums that I will let any of the chief devs have my 4G so they can get things rolling for us. No one has hit me up as of yet. I firmly believe they have all decided to wait for the dual core devices that will be out shortly. Specifically the G2x.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bryandrew19:
If krylon or someone can get clockwork working and maybe a vanilla/overclock kernel I would be more than happy to donate some money to them or team whiskey.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sk8er_:
Well, I just did :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jlacy76:
Will we ever have CW for this phone or should I stop checking back?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xtreampctek:
It's been three weeks since the phones release so I'm starting to ask that question myself...If I've read correctly the only difference between the Vibrant 3G and Galaxy S 4G is the partition structure, And I don't want to sound ungrateful but is it that much to ask for an update especially for those of us who paid for ROM Manager?

I think we at least deserve an update, like what is the current problem with why the Galaxy S 4G is such a issue.

I'd be happy if TW just released their ROM's in ODIN format, so we all don't have to sit here waiting to find out with whats going on.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
I would leave that feedback on ROM managers market page. If a few do it. It will get some attention...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] delgado2442:
çook sağol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] orionshock:
Is there some blog we can watch for updates ?? or just this thread.

I will buy the RomManager off market if it comes out for the SGS4G

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Good Idea. I remember users did changed their star rating for the app to 1 star till the dev made the fix for the app. I think we should all go and put 1 star on the rating.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
I'm on board
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Jermz212:
I lost my Vibrant 2 weeks ago and upgraded to Vibrant 4g but seeing that its almost the same as the old one and damn Clockwork dont event work.....I might just return it for the old Vibrant.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MvP77:
I tried that. The Vibrant has been Discontinued. Im just gonna sell mine and get a G2x.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hikoukla:
Im going to assume that there is no updates on this issue as of yet...

I cant even reboot into CWM recovery...is anyone able to??

:(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
DO NOT try and use CWM .... It is not made for his device, and you will screw up your phone if you attempt to use any features with this device..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hikoukla:
Thanks! I haven't done anything yet. Do u know of any decent roms out there?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
There is one, its in this forum its deodexed kb5 v2.2 You must flash using Odin but it works great. Read everything in the thread before flashing, you will run into a couple issues but if you read the post's you will know about them and how to fix them.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] abctilly:
Has all movement stopped for this device? Not trying to sound ungrateful, but I believe dev's are going to "skip" this device. Maybe I should just get a g2x for the time being..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Yea. You should get a different phone.
[About XDA developers] jab476:
When posting on this sight, how do I attach my images as large screenshots instead of thumbnails that you must click on? I know i'm going to feel stupid when I get the answer but I can't figure it out!

Thanks!!
[About XDA developers] rabeatz:
Instead of attaching the image using the attach button here, hosting the image on a third party site such as imageshack.us or imgur.com . Then insert the direct image URL in IMG tags. Or after uploading it to imgur.com just copy and paste the message board link. It includes the IMG tags for you.

hmm what´s up here?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] walkinhotdog:
I just noticed that the only decent games my hero can run are squibble, speedx, and minisquadron. Everything else i have either runs like crap or arent worth mentioning. How do the rest of you get by? I wish i could play angry birds and fruit ninja. What quality games do you guys play? Really thinking of getting the desire s or if i can hold off long enough then some <4 inch screen dual core htc phone
[Hero, G2 Touch General] B1nny:
First of all, is your phone rooted?

When your phone is rooted, you can put faster roms on it, like Cyanogenmod 6/7 or roms based on Cyanogenmod. The next thing is, that when your phone is rooted, you can overclock it, so it will run faster not only the menu's and stuff, but also games ;)

If your phone is already rooted, try checking out some other roms, or maybe there is a whole lot of crap on your phone, maybe much background processes.

Because fruit ninja works fine on my hero ;) not greatsupersmoothomgawesomeness but it works really well ^^ it's really playable..

And if you want to play angry birds, you have to search on google for a modded version, this version has alot of textures removed, and is ALOT smoother, I mean really alot ;) try it :)

Goodnight ^^,
[Hero, G2 Touch General] walkinhotdog:
yep its rooted running kimera2.1 with flykernal12 running at 672 mhz. I cant live without sense so im kinda stuck. I mean yea fruit ninja is playable but it is horrible compared to the iphone version, combos make it lag. What version of angry birds are you running? Im still on 1.3.5 before the laggy textures were added. its playable but i havent tried any newer versions since they prolly arent playable. Have you tried the newest version wit the graphics toggle?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] yasin12:
youre on 2.1 rom? no wonder it lags so much. android 2.2 introduced Jit which gives it a 2x speed boost. you should consider a 2.2 rom or maybe even a 2.3 rom. youll notice a difference straight away, speed wise
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Queue515:
Sounds interesting, looking forward to seeing your progress/results.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
I'm currently in the process of ordering parts. So here's a question for everyone:

Which would be the best extension port for the dock. Standard USB, Mini USB, or Micro USB.

My plan is to mold a Micro USB male head to another adapter to give it the most commonly used female port. The idea is to plug in a cable into the dock to minimize the chance of the inner cord being damaged and moved unncessarily. (think of the docks you get off ebay that just have a male port to plug in the phone and a female port out the back end so you can plug in a cable of your choice (length, brand, etc)

Here's a poll of what your preference:

Why not try Moulding little tabs onto one side & then a hole on the other so it kinda snaps/slides together. That way you can always reopen it at a later date :)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
so you're saying to have one of the pieces have tabs that extends to the other piece and add a hole to kind of screw it in? Sounds like a good idea as well!

I'm a little fuzzy on the visual of it, is it possible for you to provide a visual example so I might be able to replicate it? Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
Updated! 99.90% done!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
does anyone have suggestions or comments on how I can improve on the dock?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] PatrickHuey:
The finished project looks awesome man! I think, like you said, if you added some type of black texture or skin to it that it would look fantastic and even store purchased. Great craftmanship.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
ah, so you think a black coloring to the dock would work? I'll test that out!

I'm also thinking of maybe taking the top piece back into work and take out more of the recess/well for the phone and maybe fashion a silicone or softer piece for the phone to rest in and might look better. (that or get a sanding head bit and sand it down till it's smooth)

Would you suggest using a skin (like a sticker type material) or just spray paint the darn thing?

as usual for those who have read any of this, I would like to get suggestions on what I can do to improve upon it.

Currently I'm also researching a method on how to activate the phone's "dock" mode. As far as my research goes, some android phones have a special magnet inside of it that reacts to polarity (one polarity for car mode and the other for home dock). I also read that potentially, HTC made a special micro usb cable that has 1 additional pit that "activates" the feature. I do not really know much of this so I'm trying to figure out how to make this happen. If someone here happens to know, and it can be something I can physically manipulate, I'll modify the dock to include the manipulation.

and again, Thanks for the praise and your suggestions!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dieterxy:
nice work and detailed instructions are always nice. I would definitely spraypaint it black. Did you form the top and bottom parts by hand? they look a litte bumpy to me.I thought about doing this for mine and integrate it into my desk.

As for the docking mode (deskclock) i use Alarm Clock Plus. It switches into dockmode when you plug it in. I think they getting the info if its docked either from the orientation of the phone and its usb connection or the poweradapter - maybe both. Maybe its the dock im using but i did't notice some special wiring oder plug.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
everything is formed by hand mostly. the curved parts had to be done by hand, but I did take down alot of the uneven by sanding it down for a good hour and half.

I'm currently using Alarm Clock Extreme and it does not have the dock mode, which bums me out, but I'm supplementing it with Night Clock which is a really neat app. I also paired it up with Automate It by adding a kill app on unplug action so it's sorta kinda like dock mode.

do you have any suggestions as how I can make the surfaces smoother? Is there something that I can do or get to remove the bumps more effectively?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] dieterxy:
i would use some kind of metalblocks and put the dock between them but that only works before putting it all together. Or maybe just wrap the plastic around the metalblock so that its hollow.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
I probably wont be doing anything like messing with metal material since I do not have the necessary equipment nor do I have the time and money to afford that.

But I'm thinking of potentially using a skin type material and spraypaint it + my own design for it.

I had some fun with the dremel tool at my schools workshop room so I was able to get the right depth and well for the phone to slid in.

I wonder if there is anything like silicone material that can be injected on top of the material so I can make an impression (safely) and so when it sets it actually is cushioned rather than placed on the hard plastic.

I'll see if I can post more pics if I deem that the extra sanding I did made any difference.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mayurolla:
Any updates to this?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
Nothing new to update for now since I'm in a dilemma as to how to polish the final product. I do have spray paint but I also want to create a skin or layer for it to smooth out the look. I have no experience molding so I don't even know if i can recreate the dock if i wanted to.

On the otherhand... I just thought of this while typing this right now..

I can use acrylic plastic and force a flat shape that i want for the project and keep the dimensions equal for both pieces!

I'll see if I can acquire the materials for that later. I know how to do acrylic plastic work atleast.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] EfemaN:
You could always try some carbon fiber vinyl wrap. Just smooth and even out the various surfaces on your current dock, put some DI-NOC wrap on, and voila!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] austriker27:
Just wanted to say this is awesome. I just got my G2 (I know behind the times huh) and love it. Now if only I could find an otterbox case for it..
